“Thank you for giving me the chance to say, ‘This is for my mom,’ " Kidman said as the audience clapped. “My whole career has been for my mom and my dad, who are not here now. I’m still going to keep working and giving to the world because I love what I do and I love you all, and I’m so grateful for the privilege to be a part of the film community.”

“I’m sorry that I’m crying, I didn’t want to do that,” Kidman said. “But I feel my mom right now so this is for you.”

Ahead of this year’s Golden Globes, Kidman opened up about her past looks for the awards show, revealing which one she thought was actually a fail.

“My mama thought I had many bad red carpet looks,” she toldW Magazinefor its first issue of 2025, Volume 1, Best Performances. “I remember wearing a headdress once to the Golden Globes. I didn’t know what I was doing. Got to have a few train wrecks!”

The Oscar winner was likely referring to her 2004 Golden Globes look, which featured a plunging gold halter-style sequin dress and matching gold scarf-style headband. The mid-calf-length gown had sheer organza details down the middle of the bodice, at the hips and at the bottom of the skirt.

To accentuate the retro feel of the look, Kidman wore her blonde hair in a short, curly style, with the headscarf placed behind some face-framing pieces.
